SALT BOILER OR PAN.

SPECIFECATQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,630, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed September 18, 1884.

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN SEELY, a citizen of the United States, residing in Varsaw, in the county of Vyoming and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Salt Boilers or Pans, of which the following is a description.

The object of my invention is the construction of a practical salt boiler or pan wherein steam heat is used for heating, and wherein wood is used as the principal material composing the boiler or pan.

The invention consists of the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view ot' a salt boiler or pan made in accordance With my invention, and Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation of the same.

The boiler or pan is composed of the Wooden side and end pieces, AB, bottom C, and steamchamber D, and is supported upon the timbers E E, formed with shoulders a a, in connection with which the wedges or keys b b may be used, so that the boiler or pan may be keyed up at any time to keep it from leaking in case of shrinkage. p

rl`he bottom C is of heavy plank, and the steam-heating chamber is of iron, (boiler-iron preferred) and is set in an opening or recess, c, made in the bottom C, so that the upper surface of the steam-chamber stands flush with the upper surface of the bottom C, thus making the entire bottom of the boiler or pan perfectly level, so that no obstruction will be of fered to raking the salt in the boiler or pan.

The steam-chamber D may be held in openings c by the ange d', formed by the top plate, d, extending past the edges of the bot- (Model.)

tom portion, cl2, of the chamber, bolts e, being used for bolting the flanges to the Wooden bottom C, as shown clearly in Fig. l, and the steam-chamber is strengthened so it will not sag under the heavy Weight of brine by the bolts or rivets f f, passing through the chamber, as shown also in Fig. 2.

Steam for heating the brine in the boiler or pan is introduced into the steam-chamber and exhausted therefrom through suitable pipes, h 7L. (Shown in Fig. l.)

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isl. The salt boiler or pan herein shown and described, consisting ofthe side and end pieces, A B, bottom G, and steam-chamber D, let into the bottom C, so that its upper surface, d, stands iiush with the upper surface of the bottom C, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The bottom C, of wood, formed with the opening c, in combination with the side and end pieces, AB, of Wood, and the steam-chamber D, fitted in the recess c, so that its upper surface stands flush with the upper surface of the bottom C, substantially as and for the purposes setforth.

3. The steam-chamber D, composed of the bottom portion, d2, and top plate, d, extended past the lower part, di, to form flanges d', the chamber being stayed by bolts or rivets f, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN SEELY.
